Sentenced to Marriage by MadlainQ

Chapter 96

My first battle

I studied the list of names that Neil had sent me while I was on the way to Lan Diamond Tower. I turned on my laptop and used a few tricks to get myself leverage, but I wasn’t too certain of what I was doing. Those people whom I was about to face spent most of their lives, working in their positions, and certainly knew a lot more than I did about running a company. It was easy for them to prove that I was incompetent because of my absolute lack of experience, but what if I shifted their focus from the amount of experience to real sales records and achievements? What if they turned out to be reasonable people who valued and appreciated hard work? I truly hoped they were, but at the same time, I needed to be prej for the worst.

For now, I was wearing my armor; the one I packed from the penthouse just in case I’d need it

-my black Dolce suit with a pencil skirt and Manolo Blahnik heels. I ran through the entrance hall straight to Aren’s private elevator and a minute later, I was darting across the corridor toward the CEO’s office. Neil was waiting for me outside, and judging by his expression, I could tell that things weren’t looking good…

I opened the door and saw a complete board of executives waiting comfortably inside my husband’s office. Neil gave me the thumbs up and closed the door behind me as if he didn’t want to stand in the line of fire with me. My jaw instantly clenched itself. I bet that they wouldn’t act so arrogantly if it was Aren instead of me. My eyes instantly turned to the boldest one; the Chief Operating Officer, who decided to wait for me while sitting in Aren’s chair. The blood in my veins began to boil.

“Mr. Hill, I believe you took the wrong seat,” I said, glaring at the bald man in his fifties.

“Oh, do you think this seat belongs to you then?” he sneered, looking me up and down. I took a deep breath, reminding myself that it wouldn’t be good if I started the meeting by slapping that guy. Nonetheless, it required a lot of restraining from me to smile instead of punching him. “This seat belongs to my husband, and you”-I slowly scanned him from head to toe-“certainly don’t look like my husband.”

Mr. Hill growled and cursed me under his breath while the rest stifled a laugh. Well, at least he got up from behind Aren’s desk and sat on one of the sofas like the rest. I exhaled, trying to calm down before sitting on the desk and crossing my legs, making sure to grant them the right level of distraction.

“Now, gentlemen, what is it that brought you here today?” I asked, forming a polite smile and ignoring the stink of their hostility.

The CFO, Mr. Cooper, stood up first. He cleared his throat and nervously corrected his glasses before he spoke, “There should be a change in the CEO’s position.”
